I work on an Ubuntu vm, the only reason I use Windows, really, is for games and likely just out of habit.
I don't think it will be much longer until I actually make the switch.

if you don't, and you don't do webbrowsing from inside windows then I can't imagine the need for anti-virus.
90% of attacks are trojan horses (fake/embedded pirated software usually) and the remaining 9.9% is browser attacks.
I doubt anyone is defeating your firewall/NAT box to get a direct connection to your windows machine, and even if they did they'd have to find a service they can exploit.

For some extra polish when running Linux VMs under VirtualBox on Windows, set the virtualisation mode to kvm and use virtio network device.
